Isaac Ct Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Gday raiders Starting off with another beach report, down at Sussex inlet for the the holidays and decided another arvo session was in stall. People where in my usual gutter so decided to fish a shallow bank that dropped of about 30 m out. Could cast there but managed 2 of the biggest blue spots I’ve caught of the beach. Both over 50cm Yesterday we headed out on the inlet with live poddies, targeting some flatties. We had a goldilocks and the three bears situation. My dad got one just under, I got a 72cm one, then my dads friend got one just right for eating. The flatties are on again. Happy new year to all. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koalaboi Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Hi, Great fish! I don't know the difference between a blue spot and dusky flathead. What are the points of difference in the photo of the blue spot you've posted? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebenbomb Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 Awesome work @Isaac Ct, looks like you've cracked the code for flatties inside the basin and inlet. Great work on the flatty and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been running into a few locals now and I’m waiting to see you pop up I’ve been laying low avoiding the holiday crowds and just sneaking out early or late in the day to flick a surface lure around the local flats. The prawns, bream and whiting are there, though the water still feels cold and the fish are lethargic. Getting the odd fish here and there, but nothing like the last couple of seasons. I’ll head back down Sussex way in February once all the tourists have gone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
